About Me

I'm Madeline, Zoo Town Montana resident,I'm also employed at Budget CDS, a would-be artist in my free time, dance enthusiast, liberal, activist, J-rock obsessed, psuedo-vegiterian, pagan, and recently titled hippy-goth. My range of interests is wide, as well as my circle of friends. I am blessed to have the support of my wonderful family, my beautiful girlfriend, and close friends, who act as the best safety net and inspiration in the world.

Spiritually I'm a practicing pagan and coven member of O.A.O. I'm studying with Neo-pagan Priestess Estha McNevin, and Priest Colin Smith (Raven Digitalis) and am working towards taking my first mark as a priestess. I currently have the front part of my head shaved as a mark of dedication, to detatch from ego, as well as open up my crown and third eye chakras to higher awareness. This is my sacrifice for a year and a day to complete my mark.

For more information on the O.A.O (Opus Aima Obsurae - our coven) Please check out the website below, which is Colin's personnal site, or contact Estha. Also feel free to contact me with questions about open circles, cottage crafting events, or just any old question in general. ^^ I love talking with people and will answer to the best of my knowledge. (Please remember that I'm not a Priestess yet, so my answers aren't official, or the opinions of my entire Coven!)

!!! O.A.O is holding open circles this year for several of the High Holidays, as well as Dark Moon Womens' Circles for divination each month. If you (yes you!) would like any information on these please contact me. ^_^ !!!
Also: !!! YOU CAN NOW ORDER YOUR VERY OWN COPY OF GOTHCRAFT!!! This lovely book was written by the Priest of my Coven Raven Digitalis, and has hit the shelves! Help support the author directly and order through his website, linked below!

Outside of my spiritual life, I suppose I'm just your every-day, run of the mill, individual hoping to help promote positive change, awareness (spiritual, environmental, political, humanitarian or otherwise) love and progression in the world, starting with myself, one day at a time.

Remember people:

~Peace!~
